It is, apparently, not possible to keep this species in the genus Pytelia, 

 and the generic name Nesocharis, though very inappropriate, as the birds of 

 this group are mostly not inhabitants of islands, must be adopted. 



We have also a paratype of Nesocharis shelleyi Boyd Alexander (Bull. B.O. 

 Club, xiii. p. 48, 1903) from Fernando Po.
